Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the Card UI and quickly understood how to detect the abilities of living beings.
But what should I do now?
"Actually — — I feel like your Void Library doesn't know much about evil creatures"
Gu Qing Shan commented.
Omaki didn't agree with that and immediately replied: "Evil creatures always lie, and they like to lead people to fall. We certainly don't know much about such a race — — - but comparatively, no one knows more about evil creatures than us Void Library, not even the Secret Admissions Association"
"What is the Secret Admissions Association? That name doesn't seem to be on the list of organizations in Void City "Gu Qing Shan commented.
"Ah, it's a notorious underground organization that specializes in studying the power of the body, every one of them is an expert in anatomy" Crow chimed in.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Alright then, regardless of how many secrets the Void Library knows about evil creatures, I bet you don't know that us Fear Fiends sometimes have abilities that others don't understand"
"What are you trying to say?" Omaki asked.
"I'm trying to say — — we evil creatures also have a few methods of detection, but we rarely use them"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan put her hand on Crow's back and sincerely said:
"I need you to focus your attention and recall every time you made a prophecy"
Crow hesitantly asked: "Can I really do that?"
Omaki also hesitantly asked: "Is this your individual ability, or a common ability of all Fear Fiends?"
"Let's try it first" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow closed his eyes and began to recall every time his prophecy succeeded.
Gu Qing Shan kept her hand on his back and glanced at the Card UI.
A few moments later.
A few lines of text appeared on the Card UI:
[Detected super rare prophecy-type ability: Tombstone]
[Only those who are extremely sensitive to misfortune would have a one in ten million chance of awakening this ability]
[Tombstone: If you foresee a certain unfavorable future, it would trigger the effects of Fate, turning the future you foresee into reality]
[Attention: To activate 'Tombstone', you must first sense the omen of misfortune]
[Attention: This is an extremely rare unique prophecy ability with a strong exclusivity, capable of selecting a single misfortune from countless possible scenarios to descend upon reality]
Gu Qing Shan read through it a few times.
I really have to say … this ability … is truly a jinx.
At this point, Crow anxiously looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked: "How is it? Did your evil creature's detection ability discover anything?"
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and stayed silent.
How I should say this, Crow is a good person, but I'm not a bad person.
If I help Crow …
Gu Gu glanced through the Card UI again.
It had a strong exclusivity …
Choosing a misfortune to descend upon reality …
For some reason, Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled a time when Xie Dao Ling taught him, Xiao Lou, and Xiuxiu about the Divination technique.
"Among the six arts, Divination is number one because it specializes in calculating fortune and misfortune" Xie Dao Ling explained.
"Then, is misfortune a fixed fate?" Soo Soo asked.
"That's not true. Xiu Xiu, remember, there is no door to good or bad luck, only people can summon it themselves. The knowledge in this is very deep, ordinary people can't even touch the edge." Xiao Lou said proudly.
"Xiao Lou is right. In truth, sometimes bad luck is the origin of good luck, and good luck often contains bad luck as well. As the saying goes, 'Only man can summon himself' — — – which means that the most important factor between good and bad luck is the actions of a person. A person's good and evil thoughts, morals, and ability can all determine the direction of good or bad luck" Xie Dao Ling casually explained.
Gu Qing Shan quickly gathered his thoughts and had an idea.
He suddenly appeared excited and told Crow: "I've discovered what exactly your ability is"
"Great!"
"This is impossible!"
Crow and Omaki cried out in unison.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Remember this well, this ability of yours is called 'Good Luck Avoidance Technique'"
"Good Luck Avoidance Technique!" Crow and Omaki both exclaimed in unison again.
"Yes, Good Luck Avoidance Technique — — - its activation condition must be when you sense that some sort of bad luck is about to appear" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Go on" Crow held his rapier tightly, trying to calm his nerves.
"Normally, when people sense the arrival of misfortune, the situation is already irreversible — — - but you can choose a type of misfortune that isn't as severe and turn it into reality, thus excluding the other types of misfortune that are especially dangerous" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"For example, let's say that two people are going to die together in a duel. At this time, if you know what will happen to them, say in advance, 'They will both be beaten black and blue by each other'."
"After that, they will really be beaten black and blue by the other party, but they won't die together"
Crow slowly retracted his gaze, standing there in thought.
Gu Qing Shan then added fuel to the fire: "Have you always been avoiding casualties during missions, so you've never mentioned anything about 'death'?"
Crow nodded.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Then, for the past few years, you've always completed any missions perfectly?"
Crow thought for a bit, then nodded.
"That's not right!" Omaki called out, "Before, he didn't know about this ability of his, so he only mentioned relatively dangerous situations when he wasn't aware of it"
Gu Qing Shan raised her eyebrows, then continued: "That's great, from now on, Crow, you can help us reduce the danger of various situations"
Crack!
Crack!
The sound of shattering could be heard.
The three of them looked up.
Only to see that quite a few runes were cracking on one of the walls.
An intense gust of wind seemed to be howling outside. This gust of wind contained terrifying power, so much so that even the warp tower that was originally isolated from the outside world was about to collapse!
"This is the misfortune he mentioned before, the entire tower is about to be destroyed!" Omaki said in despair.
"It's fine, I'll do it"
Gu Qing Shan walked to a corner of the warp tower and took out a set of repair tools from it.
— — -to deal with sudden dangers, these tools specifically used to repair warp formations were usually kept inside the warp tower.
Gu Qing Shan picked up a set of rune carving pens, flew up, and hovered next to the wall.
He quickly repaired the runes according to the various warp knowledge he had learned before.
"You know how to do this?" Crow was surprised.
"I've only learned it for a few days, it's just a small trick"
Gu Qing Shan landed, placed the repair tools next to his feet, and casually explained.
Crow suddenly noticed something and said: "The warp tower is a very intricate facility, something happened just now, so it would definitely produce some chaotic fluctuations that would attract those — — -"
As he said this, he suddenly realized something.
My ability.
I'm activating my ability!
"Remember this well, this ability of yours is called 'Fortune Seeking Danger Avoiding Technique' …"
Everything Gu Qing Shan said just now quickly flashed through his mind.
In the blink of an eye, Crow's tone changed and said: "The weakest plague monsters, they will come to check the situation"
That was all.
Gu Qing Shan and Omaki both looked at him.
"You activated your ability again?" Omaki asked.
"Yes, this feeling is the same as before … but at the very last moment, I changed the 'strongest plague monster' to 'weakest plague monster'" Crow admitted.
The three of them went silent.
"Let's wait and see, we'll know the result soon enough" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He turned to the Card UI again, focusing on a certain line of text:
[Attention: This is an extremely rare unique prophecy ability with a strong exclusivity, capable of selecting a single misfortune from countless possible situations to descend upon reality]
— – a strong exclusivity.
I hope this is as I think it is …
Time ticked by.
The howling wind outside slowly weakened until it became silent.
Following that, a series of small noises resounded.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
Someone was slowly approaching the teleportation tower.
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to check.
It was a few Man Eater Fiends with incomplete bodies.
They were indeed the weakest monsters within the Plague Apocalypse.
Success!
Gu Qing Shan turned to Crow and smiled: "I can see that the ones coming are indeed the weakest Apocalypse monsters"
Crow sensed it.
Omaki also sensed it.
"Unbelievable … to be able to determine the level of misfortune …" Omaki muttered.
Crow drew the rapier at his waist and lightly swung it through the teleportation tower.
The sound of footsteps outside instantly disappeared.
Flames appeared out of nowhere, burning the few Man Eater Fiends into ashes.
"'Fortune Seeking Danger Avoiding Technique'?" Crow swung his rapier, then suddenly chuckled and sighed: "So I've always had such a powerful Fate-type prophecy ability … if I could detect it a bit earlier, I wouldn't have to be so depressed every day"
His entire being was in high spirits, looking like a sharp unsheathed blade.
Gu Qing Shan raised her thumb and agreed:
"Indeed, you are the one in a million Crow of Prophecy"
